Best $1k Integrated Amp for Spendor S3/5's

Hello, I'm looking into purchasing a preowned set of Spendor S3/5's with a Velodyne sub and wanted to see if anyone has any ideas as to which $1k integrated would work best with them. Some ideas are:

Creek 4330SE or 5330SE, Linn Majik or Classik, MF X-150, or Naim Nait 3 or 5. Also, if going the tube route, Jolida or Cayin look like strong options in that price range.

For the transport, was looking to either go with a Bel Canto Dac 2, MF X10D/PSU, or ART DI/O and Rega Planet as the CDP.

Also, any thoughts on how to build a sub $2500 system by changing any of the above pieces are greatly appreciated.

2 Integrated Amplifiers that continue to impress me at that pricepoint are the Unison Unico and the Creek 5350SE. Both can be had used here on Audiogon in 9/10 condition for under $1,000.00.

Everytime I listen to them at my friend's house, I am just blown away for the performance/dollar ratio.

Good luck..
